Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows overview

Description

The second story based on highly popular novels about Sherlock Holmes was produced this time by Guy Ritchie which promised a lot more action and tricks. This second story is an independent creation written by Kieran Mulroney and Michele Mulroney although consulting Conan Doyle's The Final Problem. The characters performed by the same cast which was brought into play on the previous movie. Here we find married Dr. Watson performed by Jude Law ready to set off for the romantic journey with his young wife to Paris; however he gives a visit to his friend Sherlock Holmes who is absorbed with the series of seemingly disconnected crimes and actions. Soon it becomes clear that Sherlock is working on a single case which unites all the delinquencies across one evil person Professor Moriarty performed by Jared Harris. While Watson is away on a train with his wife, Holmes encounters Moriarty who poisoned Sherlock’s beloved Irene Adler and threatens to kill a young married couple if Holmes continues to interfere in Moriarty’s business. Holmes catches the train and an adventurous game begins. Stephen Fry added enormously to the films humor performing Sherlock’s brother Mycroft.
